Will extreme overclocking help Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX to defeat ATI Radeon HD 4800 and how greatly? Will an extremely overclocked GeForce 9800 GTX be able to complete against the new GeForce GTX 260? Answers to all these questions in our new article!

Performance in Third-Person 3D Shooters

Lost Planet: Extreme Condition

The best the modified GeForce 9800 GTX can do is to compete with the Radeon HD 4850 in average speed, being slightly inferior in bottom speed. Not very impressive, especially considering the drawbacks of extreme overclocking.

Tomb Raider: Legend

This is another impractical win for the overclocked card. The off-the-shelf Radeon HD 4870 provides comfortable conditions, too. The Radeon HD 4850 is also good, even at a resolution of 1920x1200, because you don’t need as high a frame rate to play a third-person shooter as you need to play a first-person one.
